Across 4 contracts, 0 grade out as good value and 2 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Anthony Banda (C+) at $1.6M/yr — getting lhp production well above the price point. The priciest commitment relative to production was Kyle Tucker (D) at $60.0M/yr — the right fielder market may have been richer than the on-field return suggests. This front office is maximizing its payroll dollars and building sustainable depth.
